Just to give you an idea of how undervalved a big block is we would, even in the modest 482 incher we are dealing with here, have to install an intake of over 2.8 inches to produce the same valve breathing area per cube as a 350 inch small block with a 2.02 inch valve.
Hi David,
Its late and maybe I should wait until morning. But by my calculations you would need a 2.37 valve for your 482 to equal the 350 with 2.02.

On the subject of wet flowing. Both what you have written here and in your other article and in things I have seen written by Darin Morgan, all of the studies are of the curtain / window area and the combustion chamber. With the ability to CNC ports so easily would there be a reason to CNC the port from clear plastic and study the flow through the port.

Best regards,
Stan
